Day 21: Feeling stronger

Yesterday was a tough day as my stomach was giving me some pains that just continued throughout the day.  I believe I put a little too much fresh garlic in one of fish dishes for flavor and thus I had a bit of trouble digesting what I ate.  I need some time to play around with some different recipes for my protein, hopefully this weekend will allow me to do so. 

Last night, the volleyball team had an away match and we always stop for dinner after the match.  I've been good about bringing my own PCP meal and eating it, it was just extremely hard when they decided to go to a pizzeria place for dinner.  Freshly made, hand-tossed creations of buttery goodness. Yes, I miss that, but I just kept thinking about how heavy I would feel if I ate non-PCP approved stuff.  I resisted.  For 60 minutes I resisted!  There were even fresh baked cookies there and I resisted!!  Yay - go team cookie monster.  The will-power is strong within me.  Every time I do resist temptations, I get rewarded in will-power, which feels pretty awesome. 

So with strong will power, I like to imagine a ladder.  A ladder that with every rung achieved upward, I'm getting that much closer to my goal.  Anyhow, I'm feeling much better today and oddly optimistic which is not my style, but today is a good day.  With only jump ropes to do, my mind and body are happy just to do that.
